Solitary chicken - need advice

[welovemarmite]

Ok, now the wir has been designed hubbie has asked me to price up the materials for him. He hasn't told me what timber he wants yet so leaving that out for now.

 

As I know there will be people who have done this already anyone got any tips for where to go for the cheapest,

 

polycarbonate for the roof

wire meshmeld for the sides

and railway sleepers for the base to level the land up!

 

Already chosen the colour - Cuprinol Sage

and going for a

chosen names for the chickens we have yet to buy - Korma, Tikka, Bhoona and Madras....

I can help with the weldmesh Hills of Devon Oh, and it would be a good idea to weldmesh the roof as well for security. For the plastic I went to Wickes but think B & Q do it as well. HTH

Just pricing mine up and as before Hills of devon seem the best price for weldmesh and Wickes for the polcarb roof. Timber at Wickes is also a good price. I was going to use their corrugated sheeting for the roof but it only comes in 1.8m lengths so it will have to be polycarb. good luck with the build.

B&Q sell 2.4m lengths of the corrugated stuff if that helps!
